Power corrupts, so they say, and all the evidence I have seen leads me to support the 'Green empowerment' rather than 'Yes to a Leader' camp in the internal discussion currently underway in the Green Party. The referendum of the membership later this autumn might have to be delayed if Gordon Brown calls a snap election. What is certain is that the debate is drawing away a lot of energy and focus that we should be giving to getting our first MPs elected. If you want an antidote to party conferences, try this little rap, made up of real extracts from the recent party conference in Liverpool (party hacks will be able to recognise a few voices of our lead activists who are always on their feet at conference). A certain ex councillor who supports the notion of a single leader was a little lost for words for once when asked to explain the meaning of 'full responsibility' - it does take a while to load but is worth it!
